Controlling Default Attributes
Once again, display the authorization record:
=INFO DISKFILE report1
The display shows:
The file report1 is protected by the Safeguard software with a simple access control list 
that consists of only your user ID. To modify or expand the access control list, see 
Working With Access Control Lists on page 3-7.
Controlling Default Attributes
When you add a file to the Safeguard database, any unspecified attributes take on the 
default attributes for a disk file. As the previous examples showed, when report1 was 
initially added to the Safeguard database, it did not have an access control list. This 
occurred because the default disk-file attributes do not include an access control list. 
To see the default values for disk files:
=SHOW DISKFILE
The display shows:
 LAST-MODIFIED OWNER STATUS WARNING-MODE 
$DATA.SALES 
 REPORT1 18JUL05, 11:03 2,1 THAWED OFF 
 002,001 R,W,E,P, O
Note.  If you display the Guardian security string with the FUP INFO command or the TACL 
FILEINFO command, the value of the RWEP field appears as four asterisks ("****") for the file 
that is placed under Safeguard protection through the ADD DISKFILE command. But if the file 
is placed under Safeguard control through the use of a DEFAULT-PROTECTION or 
PERSISTENT PROTECTION record FUP INFO and FILEINFO will display Guardian security 
string in the RWEP column though the file will be placed under Safeguard protection.
